Introduction

These web resources briefly describe what is meant by Child Sexual exploitation (CSE), Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), Child Trafficking and Grooming. In the case of FGM we present below a set of approved diagrams of the different types of FGM to aid recognition. As with all types of abuse in children there is an associated and important legal framework associated with these offences, and it is important that all health professionals are familiar with this wherever they practice in the UK.
